Dod badly wants sleep but still let her carer finish talking

In this video, I was talking to my dog about our birthday plan surprise for our mom, a hired serenading group. I was disturbing him saying that mom would have visitors later that night and babbled a Happy Birthday, Mama! And, then, told him to sleep again. That's when he closes his eyes sweetly. As if he's really been waiting for me to stop talking.

Kermit is my dog's name. He lived with us for almost 14 years. His death last October is the hardest. I lost a brother. I have no other sib but him. I am crippled without him. I have no one to tell my deepest secrets now. I am in much pain, but my mom, is in much much. She lost a child.

We really treat Kermit as our fourth family member. We always remember him.
